About Steam Roller Park
Inclusive Adventure Playground at Steam Roller Park
Steam Roller Park has an Inclusive Adventure Playground with a 12-metre play tower, a slide, a flying fox and custom swings. Georges River Council and the NSW Government's Open Space and Parklands Program jointly funded the playground. Generous lawned areas surround the equipment and give children room to run. The playground sits beside the picnic tables and barbecues, so parents can keep watch over children while they share a meal.
Picnic Tables and Barbecues at Steam Roller Park
Steam Roller Park has 8 sheltered picnic tables and 8 free barbecues spread through the playground area, so families can cook and eat under cover. A large bush picnic spot further along the bush road gives groups extra space. The park's historic castle has its own electric barbecues and can be hired for private events. Weekend family gatherings with food suit this part of the park.
Historic Steamroller at Steam Roller Park
Steam Roller Park takes its name from a famous steamroller that sits in the middle of the park and is its best-known landmark. The steamroller is now fenced off, but a child-proof gate lets children reach it while an adult supervises. Because the machine sits close to the playground and picnic areas, a look at the steamroller fits easily into a day out with children.
